Just a selfie

Location

Dark curly hair,dark brown eyes that only if you look close enough,

you can see the brown soaking in,dark circles under my eyes because 

my first period teacher forgot that i have many OTHER teachers 

that give long assignments like her.

-Ding- you have one new noticification 

Another "oh you're so pretty " 

But little do they know THAT 

that picture is full of  EXPOSURE,SATURATION,MY BEST ANGLE,MY FAVORITE FILTER, AND 

hides all my flaws because i cant just wake up like those pretty girls on tumblr with their tea cup, oversized sweater, and stockings 

That sweater fits me perfectly,those stockings are too small, and i dont even

like TEA 

But i'll reblog it anyways because she looks skinny and BEAUTIFUL

beautiful

Without filters , i am full of "why can't I take a picture of my legs without having to airbrush them"

AND

Full of " Do you think this selfie looks alright to upload?"

FULL of "wheres the money" because without it, i will be either homeless or

won't be able to have an education

Without the latest iphone, or  stuck shopping at the clearance section 

I will be naked

Exposed of my hopes

Exposed of my worth 

Exposed of the stretch marks on my thighs

and

Exposed of the radiant love i hold inside.
